The Golden Bridge (Cau Vang) is a striking pedestrian bridge located in the Ba Na Hills near Da Nang, Vietnam. It sits at an altitude of about 1,400 meters above sea level, within the Sun World Ba Na Hills resort. The bridge is famous for its unique design: two giant stone hands appear to lift the golden-colored walkway, creating a surreal and photogenic spectacle. As you walk across, you're treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The bridge is relatively short (about 150 meters) but the experience is unforgettable. What makes it distinctive is the blend of nature and art, the hands are designed to look weathered and ancient, as if emerging from the hillside. The area around the bridge also features gardens, a French village, and a cable car system that holds world records for length and altitude.

A bit of history
The Golden Bridge was designed by TA Landscape Architecture and opened in June 2018 as part of the Sun World Ba Na Hills resort expansion. The hands were constructed using steel and fiberglass, then covered with moss and weathering to appear aged. The bridge was built to attract tourists to the Ba Na Hills, which has been a hill station since the French colonial era.
